Clinical Outcomes of Shoulder Artery Embolization for Adhesive Capsulitis.
Article in Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo evaluate the clinical outcomes of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for adhesive capsulitis (AC) resistant to conventional treatments. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis is a retrospective analysis performed between January 2015 and December 2024. TAE was performed with a suspension of imipenem/cilastatin sodium in contrast agent. Subjects were assessed before, 1 week, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the procedure using the pain visual analogue scale (VAS) and the joint balance of Constant-Murley score (CMS). Demographic variables, risk factors, technical aspects and adverse events were also evaluated.
resultsThe study included 128 TAE procedures in 118 patients with AC. 84/118 [71.7%] women; mean age 52.4 ± 8.7 years old. One patient was lost to follow-up. Six months after TAE, significant improvements were observed in terms of pain reduction 7.8 vs. 2.2, P < .001 and regarding mobility in flexion and abduction, respectively (90.1° vs. 143.3°, P < .001; 79.6° vs. 128.8°, P < .001). No major adverse events occurred. Clinical improvement was documented in 115/128 (89.8%) at 12-month follow-up.
conclusionsTAE achieved pain reduction and functional improvement in patients with adhesive capsulitis refractory to conservative treatments. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4, Case Series.
